Method
 

  1. Step 1: Prepare the Oreo Crust
  2. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a food processor, crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. Mix with melted butter until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
  3. Step 2: Make the Red Velvet Cheesecake Layer
  4. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, cocoa powder, and red food coloring. Mix until fully combined and vibrant red. Pour the mixture over the cooled Oreo crust.
  5. Step 3: Make the Cream Cheese Layer
  6. In another bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and heavy cream, mixing until light and fluffy. Carefully spread this layer over the red velvet cheesecake layer.
  7. Step 4: Bake the Cheesecake
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is slightly wobbly. Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour. Remove and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  9. Step 5: Prepare the Topping
  10. In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the chilled cheesecake. Garnish with Oreo crumbs.
  11. Step 6: Serve & Enjoy
  12. Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Slice and serve chilled.
